[_] Create building information model and construction documents
[_] Document and present the design to all stakeholders
[_] Coordination between various disciplines facilitated through interference detection
[_] Communication of design intent to the client, consultants and other stakeholders
Description:
A process in which 3D software is used to develop a BIM model based on criteria that is important to the translation of the building’s design.
Two groups of applications are at the core of BIM-base design process:
Design Authoring tools and
Audit and Analysis tools.
Authoring tools create models while audit and analysis tools analyze or add to the richness of information in a model. Most of audit and analysis tools can be used for Design Review and Engineering Analysis BIM uses.
Design authoring tools are a first step towards BIM and the key is connecting 3D model with powerful database of properties, quantities, means and methods, costs and schedules.
Potential Benefits:
[_] Transparency of design for all stakeholders
[_] Better control and quality control of design, cost and schedule
[_] Powerful design visualization
[_] True collaboration between project stakeholders and BIM users
[_] Improved quality control and assurance
